Another source is www.steelforge.com

They have just about anything.
These people will even custom smelt a batch for you!

Danbo,
Will they even fool with the smaller quantities that knifemakers would use?

My favorites are Sheffield Supply @ http://www.sheffieldsupply.com and Pops Knife Supply @ http://www.popsknifesupplies.com/

I've used Admiral Steel too, and they are also very good.

Yes, they will. But what their idea of a small batch is, I dont know. But, I imagine if a couple of people got together and chipped in, it would be OK. I have thought of having a custom batch smelted myself. Maybe a vacuum melted, souped up L6? A little more carbon, a little Vanadium, a few more trace alloys. Who knows? The possibilities are endless.
